HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS KING CHARLES TO BE CORONATED IN WINTON

His Royal Highness, King Charles is to take his rightful place in Winton this week, atop a bright red post box.

Once more the lovely and very creative Vicki Johnson has created another crochet/knitted topper for the Parrin Lane post box, this time featuring none other than the King himself, as well as one of his loyal Kings Guards.

What's more is Vicki will on hand to crown the new king herself as she has also knitted him some resplendent royal robes and even a crown to go on top of his regal head.

Oh and before anyone has any designs on nicking it, we should remind you that it is covered my more cameras than Will's and Kates wedding.

Vicki has created a number of toppers over the past few years and this is in our opinion is one of her finest.

It took a few weeks to make King Charles due to work and family commitments, the crown and guard was recycled from my jubilee topper.

I Started making them during lockdown to cheer the community up during a difficult time.

I've made about 9 different ones I try to recycle any items that that survived the elements.

I'm just in the process of putting a topper together for Morrison's in Eccles for the charity they support which is Together for short lives, I've made colourful butterflies to decorate it with I just need to find some spare time to go put it on and sew everything in place as it's a different style from my usual postbox which is local enough to go try it on and tack items in the right places.

This one will be removed at night and put back out in the mornings and I've got a crown and gown ready to add to King Charles for Saturday's Coronation.

I'll be spending the weekend with my children and probably crocheting and planning my next topper.
